I'm a Florida watercolor artist that cares a lot about habitat conservation! I've worked with the South Florida Wildlands Association and the Miami Pine Rocklands Coalition on projects such as the MPRC's coloring book and Pine Rockland Zine, a monthly publication that supports conservation of South Florida's most endangered habitat. My watercolors explore the relationships between plants and animals to illustrate the interdependence of animals in a habitat, bringing to light the rare, unique species. I graduated with a BFA in painting in 2014 and when I'm not painting, I teach. I've taught drawing and painting classes and workshops at the Coral Springs Museum of Art, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, The Boca Raton Library, the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County, and at the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators in Washington DC. I'm the STEM instructor at The Milagro Center in Delray Beach, FL.
